What should I look for in a sunscreen for sensitive skin?

For sensitive skin, dermatologists often recommended looking for mineral sunscreens that contain either zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide. All Anthelios sunscreens are tested on sensitive skin. All formulated and tested for optimal skin tolerance.

What’s the difference between a chemical (organic) and mineral (physical) sunscreen?

Mineral sunscreens contain mineral ingredients like zinc oxide & titanium dioxide sit on the top layer of skin & reflect and scatter UV rays. Chemical sunscreens contain organic compounds like octocrylene & avobenzone absorb UV rays on the skin.

What are the advantages and disadvantages to chemical vs mineral sunscreens?

Mineral sunscreens work as soon as you apply onto skin, but because they sit directly on the skin may rub or sweat off more easily than chemical sunscreens that take at least 15min to properly absorb, meaning skin may not be immediately protected.

How should I apply mineral sunscreen?

100% mineral based sunscreen can leave a purple or white cast on some skin tones. To help the formula blend into the skin, work in small sections and apply in circular motions. Rub well until formula is no longer visible.

It leaves a white residue :(

It leaves a white residue :(
I bought this thinking it would be transparent. But as you can see the difference of color of my neck and my face, I look like a ghost :(It's not oily so that's a plus, but the white residue doesn't look good.
Thank you for your feedback

Highly efficient sunscreen that gets bonus points for:
1. it's mineral and not chemical. That was one of my priorities since chemical sunscreens' regulation has been lagging behind for years, resulting in many chemical sunscreens being around while their active ingredients have already been banned for years in other countries
2. it's one of the easiest to tolerate: I have tried many face sunscreens and all of them make me transpire (problematic, especially with make-up) and sometimes leave a crust behind. Apparently, this is an issue especially with mineral sunscreens but I consider it a small price to pay given the bigger picture (chemical sunscreens often contain endocrine disruptors among other things). This one is the most tolerable I've tried with minimal sweating and no crust, thus justifying its "ultra light" feature.

Additionally, it's fairly easy to spread and has never made me break out.

Very happy with it, have been using it with years and will continue to do so!

This is one of the brands recommended by our dermatologist: La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Ultra-Light Face Sunscreen SPF 50. Initially tried to other recommended brands as they cost less but they were very thick & hard to apply & remove...whereas this product is light, easy to apply and washes off nicely. Well worth the price and appreciate that the container is small enough to carry on planes per TSA rules and doesn't take up much spacen my cross body bag either. Highly recommend!

it was recommended by my aesthetician, since I was leaving for vacation and didn’t have time to pick up a sunscreen from her. it worked beautifully, it’s very thin and runny, very liquid consistency, it didn’t leave any white cast, and it protected my form peak hours florida sun. and the packaging is very compact which makes it great for travel. it’s acne-safe, i have very dry and acne prone skin, but it didn’t break me out a single bit. also if you don’t like fragrance in your skincare - this one isn’t fragrances. great sunscreen for the price

I like this sunscreen doesn't make my eyes hurt. Even though it has white casting effect on my face, I don't mind it at all. By wearing this, I don't have to wear whole lot of makeup and it protects my skin from sun.

I watched a few videos before purchasing.. reviewers saying , this product was great for darker complexed skin. I didn’t experience that, it left a white casting all over my face and was very hard to remove. Should’ve retuned it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buena textura y buen acabado
Reviewed in Mexico on October 9, 2023
Soy de piel ultra sensible y quería un protector mineral sin color y que fuera ligero de textura y este me encantó.
En primer lugar debo decir que con 2 deditos de producto es más que suficiente para toda la cara.
Sí deja un rastro blanquecino, a pesar que tengo piel muy blanca, se llega a notar ligeramente, pero si usas base de maquillaje encima, se soluciona el problema.
No tiene acabado aceitoso, sin embargo deja un efecto "glowy" en la piel debido a que refleja la luz y así proteje del sol, nada que un poco de polvito traslúcido no solucione.
Deja una textura de apariencia tersa en la piel, como un primer de maquillaje, disminuye la apariencia de las texturas de la piel.
Y lo mejor es que al tener óxido de zinc, realmente ayuda a mantener una piel linda, hidratada y saludable. A veces por agentes externos mi piel se irrita y después de todo un día de llevar puesto ese protector solar, cuando me lavo la cara, noto que toda irritación se fue y me deja un aspecto muy sano en mi cara.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 27, 2023
Tô be honest, I am a bit surprised. I have been looking for a mineral sunscreen for more than a year and I haven’t found anything good so far. This one is amazing .. light textured, and with La Roche quality. I have a oily skin and it works very well for me. It does leave a slightly white cast (which is normal for mineral sunscreen, unfortunately) but even so much better than others that I have tried in the past. Highly recommended.
